Whether it was learning how to ride a bicycle or cracking that almost impossible trigonometry problem, or even being taught how to swim by being thrown into the deep end! we have a lot to thank our father for.

Effective time management is a primary means to a less stressful life.
These practices can help you reduce your stress and reclaim your personal life.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by the number and complexity of projects
that need to be completed at work each day? As the day flies by, do you often
feel as if you haven't paid enough attention to each task because other tasks
keep landing on your desk, co-workers interrupt you with questions or you can't
get it all organized?
You probably know that managing your time effectively will help you get more
done each day. But it has important health benefits, too. By managing your time
more wisely, you can minimize stress and improve your quality of life.
But how do you get back on track when organizational skills don't come
naturally? To get started, choose one of these strategies, try it for two to
four weeks and see if it helps. If it does, consider adding another one. If
not, try a different one.

Plan each day. Planning your day can help you
accomplish more and feel more in control of your life. Write a to-do list,
putting the most important tasks at the top. Keep a schedule of your daily
activities to minimize conflicts and last-minute rushes.

Prioritize your tasks. Time-consuming but
relatively unimportant tasks can consume a lot of your day. Prioritizing tasks
will ensure that you spend your time and energy on those that are truly
important to you.

Say no to nonessential tasks. Consider your
goals and schedule before agreeing to take on additional work.

Delegate. Take a look at your to-do list and
consider what you can pass on to someone else.

Take the time you need to do a quality job.
Doing work right the first time may take more time upfront, but errors
usually result in time spent making corrections, which takes more time
overall.

Break large, time-consuming tasks into smaller tasks.
Work on them a few minutes at a time until you get them all done.

Practice the 10-minute rule. Work on a dreaded
task for 10 minutes each day. Once you get started, you may find you can
finish it.

Evaluate how you're spending your time. Keep a
diary of everything you do for three days to determine how you're spending
your time. Look for time that can be used more wisely. For example, could
you take a bus or train to work and use the commute to catch up on
reading? If so, you could free up some time to exercise or spend with
family or friends.

Limit distractions. Block out time on your
calendar for big projects. During that time, close your door and turn off
your phone, pager and email.

Get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy diet and exercise
regularly. A healthy lifestyle can improve your focus and
concentration, which will help improve your efficiency so that you can
complete your work in less time.

Take a break when needed. Too much stress can
derail your attempts at getting organized. When you need a break, take
one. Take a walk. Do some quick stretches at your workstation. Take a day
of vacation to rest and re-energize.
